Chapter 8: The Day I Am All Alone

Chapter 8: The Day I Am All Alone

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I promise I would never leave you..."

Those words that he said to me...

"I will always protect you as many times as necessary..."

That I still remember as clear as day...

"I will always love you..."

Were all meaningless...

Ring!

"Hieee! I'm up! I'm up! Please don't kill me, Re-" Tsuna quickly covered his mouth, realizing what he almost said. He looked around the room hoping that it was his temporary room. Hoping he would smell some espresso. Hoping 'he' would be beside him. Hoping it was all dream...

But it was not.

He is in his old room. He could smell his mother's cooking. He is all alone and 'he' is nowhere to be found. Most of all, it was all real. He shadowed his eyes and tears are already falling. He doesn't want to remember that dreadful memory. Not now...

He wiped his tears and went to his desk. There stood the most precious item that he secretly took. Reborn's fedora. He picked it up and held it dearly hoping that he would come back for him. It was the only item he had from Reborn. He didn't know why but it looks like Reborn had purposely left it for him to give him hope. But even all this, he still can't forgive him. He left him there without even saying anything. After a minute, he then put the fedora in his school bag.

It's already been a week since that incident and his mom is already pursuing him to go to school. As much as he doesn't want to, as much as he doesn't want to disappoint his mom.

He went and prepare himself. He took a bath and wore his school uniform. He looked at the mirror and smiled a bit but frowned after. It's been ages since he wore one that he didn't even know if it still fits him but wearing a school uniform means that his life will be normal again. He sighed and decided to go down.

He slowly took a step to avoid falling down the stairs. Yes, he lost a lover but that doesn't mean that he also lost his clumsiness. He took another step and he slipped. "I-ittai!" He caressed his head to decrease the pain. 'I guess my clumsiness will never disappear… Ah, way to ruin the mood.' He quickly stood up and went to the kitchen like nothing had happened for him not to worry his mother.

"Good morning kaa-san." Tsuna greeted with a somewhat fake smile. Who wouldn't after what he'd been through. "What are you making?" He then asked with curiosity. Well, for him, it's weird not to make breakfast when you make it everyday.

"Ah good morning Tsu-kun! I'm making some omelets today." Nana replied back as she continued cooking breakfast.

Tsuna looked at her, feeling guilty for what his mother had been through. He didn't really remember what happened then but he knew his mother was crying non-stop even before he got home. He was just relieved now that she's already smiling again but there's still traces of crying.

He smiled sadly and went to take a seat on the table. His share of food has been already there so he already started digging up. "Itadakimasu." He said softly.

"Tuna-fish!" Someone called but Tsuna didn't stop eating his food. He knew this voice fully well. It was his father.

"Good morning, tou-san." He greeted but with a hint of hatred.

His father then started sulking in the corner saying nonsensical things like 'his tuna-fish was being cold to him.' or 'his tuna-fish hated him.' Tsuna had the urge to roll his eyes but refrained, thinking that it was impolite. It was rather annoying to see his father acting that way. Now that you think about it, his father is responsible for how he got home. How he got separated with Reborn, though indirectly.

Flashback

"Reborn, you liar!" When Tsuna woke up, he was still in the same room but he felt that something is missing. He searched all over the place but Reborn is nowhere to be found. His tears already tainted the floor. He slowly let himself fall and sobbed. "You liar, you promised that you'll never leave me. Is it all but an empty promise? I hate you, Reborn!"

Despite saying these things, he still trusts Reborn. He still believed in him that he was going to come back for him. He went and investigated the house further for some clues. On the verge of giving up, he went to the front door. That's where he saw Reborn's fedora lying on the floor.

He went to pick it up and a piece of paper fell down. Curious, he tried to read it but it only caused him to cry. He never once let go of his fedora. Considering it as a fragile object. He didn't really know how much time have passed since then. All he knew was that someone slammed the door open, called him, and hugged him before he knew he was already home…

End

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tsuna has already finished eating breakfast and was now ready to go to school. He picked up his bag and said his goodbye. "Itekimasu!."

"Itterasshai Tsu-kun!. Be careful, I heard there's a new killer targeting teenage boys like you. And I also heard that it's mostly from Namimori Middle." Nana shouted from the kitchen.

Tsuna tensed but relaxed again after. "I will, kaa-san." And he's off but before he took another step, he looked first at the sky and whispered "Killer, huh?."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The walk to the school was pretty normal. Well, except for some stares and gasps and some murmurs.

"Hey, is that really Dame-Tsuna?"

"Woah, I can't believe he actually survived that."

"It's a miracle he's still alive. I heard the killer was really terrifying and scary."

Tsuna clenched his fist not wanting to hear another word from them. They are all just spreading some false rumors. He wanted to go back now but he doesn't want to be a coward running away from reality. Tsuna continued to walk until he was already in the classroom but what he didn't know that there was a certain prefect skylark observing him.

"Ah! Sawada-kun!" Tsuna was startled. He didn't really expect somebody to call him. He looked at the person. It was Kyoko, his former-crush.

"H-hello, Kyoko-chan." Even after what happened, he still can't hide a blush when speaking to Kyoko. She's still a charming girl, after all.

"Are you alright now? I hope you didn't catch a trauma." Kyoko asked while there's already a tear forming in her eyes.

Tsuna smiled reassuringly. He didn't want to worry Kyoko-chan. "I'm okay so don't worry. Now come on, let's go inside the classroom."

Kyoko wiped her tears. "Hai."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"AHHHH! P-please don't kill me. I'm innocent!" Someone begged for mercy. He didn't know how he got here or why the new killer had tried to kill him.

"Innocent? Don't make me laugh." The new killer snorted and gazed his orange eyes at his victim.

"P-please! Kami-sama! Just when the last killer had been finally caught." The victim cried in horror that he didn't even realized that the new killer was stunned by what he said.

"C-caught, you say?" The new killer asked nervously.

Just when his victim was about to answer, another figure had entered the scene. "I didn't know you had it in you, herbivore. Good job, for disguising but for disrupting the peace in Namimori, I'll bite you to death."

"I'm sorry Tsuna. Please forgive me. I love you and I always will…"
